Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, fresh or frozen)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 20-25g protein)
  • 1/2 cup  plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 tbsp almond butter
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3-4 ice cubes (if using fresh berries)
  • 1 tsp honey (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Add liquid first. Pour almond milk into the blender. Adding liquid first prevents ingredients from sticking to the bottom and helps blades move freely.
  • Add soft ingredients. Add Greek yogurt, almond butter, and protein powder before frozen items.
  • Add berries and flaxseed. Add the mixed berries (frozen or fresh), ground flaxseed, and vanilla extract.
  • Add ice if needed. If using fresh berries, add 3-4 ice cubes for a cold, thick consistency. Skip ice if using frozen berries.
  • Blend until smooth. Start on low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth with no chunks.
  • Adjust consistency. Too thick? Add more almond milk, 2 tablespoons at a time. Too thin? Add more ice or a few more frozen berries.
  • Serve immediately. Pour into a large glass. Smoothies are best consumed fresh as the protein powder can thicken and the mixture can separate if left sitting.
